15 Dairy-Free Memorial Day Desserts

Frosted Strawberry Shortbread Bars

Buttery vegan bars are paired with a unique dairy-free buttercream, and topped with strawberries for a nod to the season.

Butterscotch Cupcakes

Forgo those plain old chocolate cupcakes, and surprise guests with these flavorful beauties. They’re rich vegan brown sugar cupcakes with vanilla buttercream and a butterscotch sauce.

Chocolate Cream Pie

Make one big pie, or mini pies for a wonderful, single-serve dessert. Either way, no one will guess that they are vegan, allergy-friendly, and even optionally gluten-free.

Rhubarb Strawberry Apple Crisp

Why settle for one fruit when you can enjoy three?! Just make sure you have a pint or two of vanilla dairy-free ice cream on hand for topping!

Sweet Grilled Pineapple

Limited on time? This simple dessert is freshly sliced pineapple tossed with brown sugar, rum, and spices, and grilled.

Triple Chocolate Cookies

Trust me, these chocolaty morsels will impress. They’re perfectly rich, soft, and chewy, and are littered with generous amounts of dairy-free chocolate chips. I use white, “milk,” and dark chocolate chips, but you can use just one kind if you don’t have all three.

Banana Split Icebox Cake

This layered dessert is so easy that your kids can make it! But you might want to keep a close eye to ensure they don’t go overboard with the chocolate syrup.

Strawberry Cheesecake Parfaits

Pretty, practical, and luxurious sums up this decadent treat. It’s easy to make ahead, looks stunning, and is a sweet, rich experience.

Mini Frozen Key Lime Tarts

Made in muffin cups, these chill little pies are addictively sweet and tangy.

S’mores Crispy Treats

Your table of dairy-free Memorial Day desserts wouldn’t be complete without this classic. But you can one up plain rice crispy treats with these graham-infused, chocolate coated goodies. They are gluten-free optional, and allergy-friendly!

PB & J Ice Cream Sandwiches

The homemade peanut butter cookies are naturally vegan and gluten-free. And the whole delicious dessert is drizzled with a dairy-free “magic shell.” Yes, you can make this recipe peanut-free!

Rhubarb Ice Cream Cake

This prize-winning cake won over an entire family, four kids and all. It’s made with a grain-free cake base and loads of flavor.

Door County Cherry Pie

Fresh cherries are just beginning to appear. If you can find them, then this pie is a must. If not, you can still make it with canned or frozen cherries.

Banana Cream Pie Parfaits

Talk about a no-fuss dessert! Just layer the delicious pudding, cookie crumbs, and dairy-free whip and serve. Who says your dairy-free Memorial Day desserts need to be complicated?

Triple Chocolate Ice Cream Cupcakes

This is a simple, fun, and dreamy shortcut recipe that is impossible to resist. Seriously impossible. Hide them in the freezer to avoid some going missing before the party!
